INVADERS CLOSING ON CITY OF AKSUM

Addis Ababa, Oct. 11.

Reports from the Ethiopian army headquarters at Deridawa state that the warriors of Haile Selassie have. regained control at Ualual and taken Wardair by storm. Both these towns are within a few miles of Gerlogubi, slightly north-east, and were occupied by Italians at the commencement of hostilities.

It is officially stated that Issa tribesmen report shooting down an Italian plane near Deidorra. The crew were killed.—Reuter.

TOO FANTASTIC

Roine, Oct. 11. The Italian troops have virtually surrounded Aksum, the ancient religious capital of Ethiopia, where are the tombs of old-time kings.

They are taking the utmost care to capture, the city without damaging the Coptic treasures and other priceless relics, and are seeking the friendship of the natives.

A spokesman said that reporta that Italian-enlisted Askaris had joined the Ethioplans were ridi- culous. He also characterised Router's report that the Ethiopians hsd recaptured--Adowa..after a fierce hand-to-hand struggle

Recapture of that city was vir- tually impossible, the spokesman explained, since the Italians had advanced considerably beyond it. -United Press.

SIFTING PROPAGANDA

London, Oct. 11. By sifting the plethora of ru mours and official communiques, most of which are valucicas by ren- son of their obvious propagandist nature, it seems fairly certain that the Italian losses so far have been small.

It is also evident that the Ita- ilans are rapidly completing their co-ordinating movements and are preparing for, the first real push in the campaign.

LIFTING EMBARGO ON ARMAMENTS

ETHIOPIA TO BENEFIT; ITALY UNCONCERNED

Geneva, Oct. 11.

So far there has been no dallying, declared Mr. Anthony Eden, British Minister for League Affairs, broadcasting to British listeners on the work of the League of Nations to-night.

Already fifty nations have given practical expres-, sion to their desire to bring the Italo-Ethiopian war to an end, he went on.

"We cannot afford to delay when men are being killed and homes shattered. Nowhere would there be more rejoicing than in Britain if Italy were to turn to ways of peace!

"But we have undertaken solemn obligations, and therefore, we shall not shirk. A prompt beginning has been made, and as far as the British Government is concerned, as we have begun, so we shall persevere," te assorted.-Reuter.

BIG PROFIT IN SILVER

TELLS WHY

The Gazette contains the draft of an Ordinance to amend the Vo- lunteer Ordinance, the principal object of which is to substitute:nn. Air Arm for the Flying Section of the Hongkong Volunteer Defence Corpe and to enact provision in SENATOR PITTMAN the Volunteer Ordinance, 1933, and the regulations thereunder ap proprinte to this unit. The cost of training members of this unit will be considerable. It is con sidered therefore that they should engage to serve for periods of four years at a time, and not merely for three years as is the case in the other Corps units.
